Abstract

The coupling current-losses of a full size, fusion dedicated Nb3Sn cable-in-conduit superconductor are measured as a function of the transverse load in the SULTAN III test facility. Applying a broad range of transport current (up to 56 kA) and background field (up to 12.1 T), the change of the transverse resistance is observed through the shift of the 0-crossing in the pick-up coil voltage. Despite the difficulty to extract useful information from the signal, the role of the strand Cr plating as resistive barrier is experimentally assessed under operating conditions. The friction factor of the conductor is also evaluated front pressure drop measurements.

Alternating current

Alternating current (AC) is an electric current which periodically reverses direction and changes its magnitude continuously with time, in contrast to direct current (DC), which flows only in one direction. Alternating current is the form in which electric power is delivered to businesses and residences, and it is the form of electrical energy that consumers typically use when they plug kitchen appliances, televisions, fans and electric lamps into a wall socket. A common source of DC power is a battery cell in a flashlight.

Wireless power transfer

Wireless power transfer (WPT), wireless power transmission, wireless energy transmission (WET), or electromagnetic power transfer is the transmission of electrical energy without wires as a physical link. In a wireless power transmission system, an electrically powered transmitter device generates a time-varying electromagnetic field that transmits power across space to a receiver device; the receiver device extracts power from the field and supplies it to an electrical load.

High-voltage direct current

A high-voltage direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission system (also called a power superhighway or an electrical superhighway) uses direct current (DC) for electric power transmission, in contrast with the more common alternating current (AC) transmission systems. Most HVDC links use voltages between 100 kV and 800 kV. However, a 1,100 kV link in China was completed in 2019 over a distance of with a power capacity of 12 GW. With this dimension, intercontinental connections become possible which could help to deal with the fluctuations of wind power and photovoltaics.
